"Sudoing something like apt search shouldn't be too dangerous." Famous last words :) Don't use sudo if you don't need it just because it's convenient.

@fra-san, yeah, the meaning changes, but it might not be that bad here. At least as long as update doesn't exist as a command on its own. Most uses of apt require privilege anyway, and sudoing something like apt search shouldn't be too dangerous.

There is also (for fun, mainly) the ugly alias apt='sudo apt '; alias update='update -y', but the two aliases (taken individually) would likely be an unwanted side effect.
